been shown to host various correlated electronic phenomena including Mott insulating states and fractional filling charge orders, quantum spin Hall effects, and (fractional) quantum anomalous Hall. To describe the low-energy states of long-wavelength moir\u00e9 superlattice, we introduced the concept of moir\u00e9 quantum chemistry, and developed transfer learning based large-scale first principle methods. In twisted bilayer TMD, we proposed the Mott ferroelectricity, kinetic magnetism and pseudogap metal from spin polarons. The pseudogap metal phase emerges at small doping below half filling and an intermediate range of fields, which exhibits a single-particle gap and a doping-dependent magnetization plateau.<\/p><p>I will also discuss the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect in twisted homobilayer and its competing states. This series of works reveal the rich physics of semiconductor moir\u00e9 superlattices as manifested in a variety of correlated and topological states. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cc0e8c7\" data-id=\"cc0e8c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb97e6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eb97e6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"242\" height=\"242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/yangzhang.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-33918\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/yangzhang.jpg 242w, https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/yangzhang-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-50bcd86 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"50bcd86\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eba1096\" data-id=\"eba1096\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4799f90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4799f90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"414\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/yangzhang-photo.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-33919\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/yangzhang-photo.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/yangzhang-photo-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-97e1ead\" data-id=\"97e1ead\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc27915 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc27915\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Biography<\/h4><p>Dr Yang Zhang is an assistant professor in physics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and visiting professor at Max Planck Institute Dresden. He received his BE degree from Tsinghua University and Ph.D. in Physics from Max Planck Institute Dresden, then he worked as a postdoc at MIT. His research interest lies in understanding the correlated\/topological states, quantum transport, and light-matter interaction in quantum materials. Yang has received several awards, including two overall Winner Awards in the World Supercomputing Contest, the Tschirnhaus Medal from the Leibniz Association, and the Otto-Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COLLOQUIUM 2023 Designing correlated and topological states in semiconductor moir\u00e9 Speaker Yang Zhang, University of Tennessee, Knoxville Date\/Time Thursday, 21&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-33916","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33916"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33916"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33938,"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/33916\/revisions\/33938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.physics.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
